King Charles faces anti-monarchy protestors waving placards stating ‘Not My King’
KING Charles was greeted by anti-monarchy protesters yesterday.
He stood just five yards away as 20 of them waved placards stating “Not My King” and shouting, “Why don’t you answer your critics?”.
Charles, 74, was making a solo trip to Milton Keynes to mark its new city status after the Queen Consort tested positive for Covid.
Apparently undistracted by the protests, Charles greeted hundreds of wellwishers and revealed his wife, 75, was “getting better”.
He also revealed he wants to visit Ukraine when the war was over.
Graham Smith, chief executive of anti-royalist group Republic, said it planned to step up protests.

Among them were around 20 supporters of the anti-monarchy group Republic carrying placards mocking Prince Andrew and blasting the King’s friendship with the vile sex offender Jimmy Savile.
Graham Smith, the group’s chief executive, said the organisation planned to increase its demonstrations.
Around 25 police kept an eye on the crowd and the demonstration passed off without any major incident.
